Thanks, Neil, Graham, for sharing your perspective. Admittedly, I don't get to spend as much time here now that we have the Flash API, so I can't consider myself a first-hand witness to the flow of the community. If you don't think my concerns are valid in this forum and that it's on a healthy path, then carry on as you were.
Thanks, also, for all of you patiently point to the posting guidelines. One at a time, we'll make the world into better forum posters. - pamela On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 7:09 PM, neil.young <[email protected]> wrote: > > This is one of the most qualified and disciplined boards I've ever > followed, but I'm neither a real map specialist nor having to do too > much with Maps except in my spare time.
